Composition with Tulips and Hat
Sobre a pintura
These decorative mural paintings are part of a set of five by Bloomsbury Group artists Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell, which were given to the museum by Raymond Mortimer, one of the most notable critics of his generation. The paintings were part of the decorative scheme for the sitting room of Mortimer’s London flat. Grant and Bell were co-directors of the Omega workshops, founded in 1913 by fellow Bloomsbury Group member Roger Fry. With the Omega firm, they sought to break down what they saw as the false distinction between the fine and decorative arts, bringing to their designs the visual language of Post Impressionism in the use of bright colours and bold, simplified forms.
